i think s mode is cvt set the lowest available gear for ur car..

it is the feeling only, becos no downshifting like normal transmission, where there is alot of engine braking when u downshift for more power, that's why u cant feel the speed but u memang can see the speedometer is rising, this is cvt

so many ppl get fire red, no ppl take black... why a.. >< black no nice a?

elegan brown seems nice also le.. i saw elegant brown exora bold, not bad tat color.. still dilemma until now lolz.. my pick of color is white, black, elegant brown, fire red.. but i booked black.. my dad say black color nice becos those plastic thing at window(don know why they use plastic, cipet betul) can blend into the body if black color..

lampa pain btw, what mean by that's the color u can see in real life? i cannot brain..

agree on elegant brown, or the black color blend plastic?

today went test drive already, very short route, i think top speed hit 90 only.. cos when at straight road, i wan speed, but i saw 3 polis on motorcycle.. kecut sikit ok, i really can feel the sluggishness from static to moving, u really need to press more pedal to move the car, but it doesnt mean u press more pedal the car will pecut, i think time after time ur muscle memory will know how much force u need to press the pedal for a better launch, so not really an issue, because u press more pedal, the car confirm will move accordingly, i think this is more like a cvt style of driving la.. when i press more pedal power got come, ayam satisfied

2nd point, NVH. the engine noise is there, but i think it is impossible to cut off engine noise inside the car, but overall the noise insulation is really nice. On vibration, nothing rattles and i run thru those lousy road in sarawak, the car just go thru like that with minimal noise and comfortably, no much goyang, i go thru those bad road around 60km/h, which i normally maybe slow until 40-50 and avoid those bad condition road. So NVH, it really did a great job. Summore i mentioned earlier got polis beside me, i don dare drive fast, i really need to keep watching the speedometer to maintain below 80km/h, becos the car doesnt feel like u are driving at 80, it is like still 40-60 like tat

Handling wise, i dont know la, i don do corner at 80km/h but the steering is beefy, not very light, but at least it doesnt feel numb. Brake is really good, so much better than myvi, honda city, wira, persona or anything i drove before. Maybe the brake pad is new la.. but the brake really responsive la..

overall, i am satisfied, altho i felt that the press to start is redundant thingy, even on a elantra. the fact that i need to press brake to start the car is already fussy enuf for me >< i prefer turn the key any day, any time.

i see the interior finish is good enuf, i think those basher really have good eyes, can go become QA/QC inspector already cos their eyes better than welding inspector. I dont even know how they manage to poke the button around HU, cos it is just a soft click then u can press the unlock door key, its like the force of clicking a mouse, unless u click a mouse like a bawse that u have change 10x mouse in 1 year.

for me i think i dont have much to complain about the car, aside from to move the car from static is my issue la.. i dont know should i go test drive kia forte 1.6sx or not.. but for me, i am not very picky on everything, unless i have the luxury to be picky. i can be picky on a headphones, becos a fuking good headphones may cos me 1k, 1k not big amount like a car, earn few months can buy liao summore ur headphones u buy liao can use 3-4years or even longer. but car, i need to loan to get money to buy, i cannot be picky, i can only buy what i am able to afford IN MALAYSIA. i don care about what other countries car cheaper or what fuk, because i am a realistic person, and the world is realistic. I dont like to complain becos why want complain? Complain is for those who only talk behind and is a ***** that don wan to do anything when ask them to do what they complain. if u wan action, make a change, starting from you-know-what-it-is, don talk, do action

about the warranty, really change window tint also cannot? wtfisthisshit.jpg..

honda also cannot change window tint? serious? sorry but 1st time i know got this kind of thing a.. damn ><

yeah, i drove a honda city for 3 months I was like honda car or toyota car is god like car, like everyone keep worship the brand dunno for what fuk, i tot what the fk so good, then i got some expectations from the car, but when i drive it, nothing special also.. the air-con vent also broken like a wira, and it is a 4-5years car. engine noise and wind noise so loud. i tot engine never service, but i see the sticker say next service is like 1k away. ppl can say, meh, 5 years old car ma.. so? i tot so called japanese car can perfect like u ppl say, drive 10-20years also no problem?

For me, i think proton has done quite a huge leap on this preve. Might be a small step for some ppl, but for proton, it is indeed quite a huge step i gonna support it, cos this will be my 1st car, but actually i am thinking maybe i can get a exora bold cfe for 75k too but scare car too big for my family and i am still single.

i think most probably is the rear seat being too straight but i find it ok and much better than persona, probably sit like a waja.

cvt doesnt really feel like a normal auto car.... even honda city idsi when u release brake pedal the car wont move one.. different abit so u need to adapt to it.

yeah, at 1st i saw sonata, fuh not bad, but after few months, meh, it's kinda boring tho.. ford fiesta i still have love for it, but becos it is a small hatchback, backseat not for human seated one, give up liao. only design like kia forte, not much curve, it does still give me nice feeling until now that i will consider it if preve is not up to my expectations. but after 1st test drive, i think preve live up to my low and realistic expectations

Btw, AMBank called me and say they give 2.85% but they say must buy the insurance, rm499, else it will be 3.0% >< CIMB bank nothing also 3.0%. i heard wat ambank say need process 1 month? Should i try bank muamalat? bank muamalat can give 2.6% for 9yrs 60k loan?

yeah the steering i no like also, cos i normally hold at 3 and 9 position, the steering spoke is not at 3 and 9 position, no like it but i fresh grad only, how i try public bank? go public bank ask myself? or ask SA help me?

wat is hba and trw? sorry not familiar with those jargons ><

gross weight is like they consider if got passenger those i think... so little difference on gross weight? probably gross weight is the total allowed weight for that particular car.

Thanks sleepwalker. I am already fedup with those mindless basher that come in to complain and bash and while their mindless tin kosong head still thinking about their "ideal utopia" where they don have to pay duty and tax and buy japan/korea or watever import car like a bawse. If my loan is approved by let's say tis tat bank, can i reject it? cos i don feel like getting ambank, 2.85% with hidden T&C, wan me buy their insurance, damn~~

the meter looks nice at night lah.. i cant see how fast he is driving tho, engine sound not bad, i test drive also not bad, all u can hear in the car is engine sound, road noise and wind noise is down to nil.. i think it is impossible to get rid of engine noise electric car also use speaker to make some engine noise as safety purpose, but i think it is for pedestrian la haha

yeah mutt! finally somebody say some nice thing for black preve, make me more confident take black color i think cvt+dbw is like tat lo... honda city torque converter based cvt but i can confirm that it doesnt drive like normal AT, 100% confirm with my 3months driving experience on this car. even when the ground is little slope, the car will rollback abit one.. but since is not my car, i just press pedal whenever there is need of power. when release brake pedal the car will not go forward like a normal AT, it go forward slowly, crawling also, i remember my colleague drove the car and say, eh why put brake pedal car wont go forward one, that time the car is carrying 2 100+kg ppl and 2 around 80kg ppl. i feel is actually got go forward but crawling. summore preve is clutch based cvt, so i think it is like a savvy AMT system but maybe better in some sense la.

wat this look nice confirm no photochop? i think normal stock rim is designed to withstand any sort of torture. If u use light weight rim with those sissy spoke, confirm patah
